WATCH: Cat named after woman’s father is finally found 10 years after going missing
Cat people everywhere agree: Those feisty little felines can light up your life. And with the holidays right around the corner, there's no better time to spoil your favorite cat or their loyal owners.
While sometimes they can be a bit harder to please than pups, cats have just much fun when you bring home new trees to climb, toys to bat around and tasty morsels for nibbling. If your cat is especially particular, imagine the brownie points you'll earn!
Consiering your cat's overall health is also vital when considering how to treat them this season. The products you'll find below are part of a healthy cat environment that offers such benefits as mental stimulation, physical wellness, exercise and a good spot for sharpening those claws -- all of which will improve your cat's quality of life.
When shopping for cat trees, we looked at ones with wide and/or heavy bases that help prevent tipping (thus avoiding injury to your cat and damage to your home) and chose our favorites that have multiple levels and areas for your cat to scratch, as well as a fun, attractive appearance that will elevate the look of your home.
When it comes to toys, soft comfort toys, active toys (i.e. a ball they can roll) and catnip are all healthy and fun for your furry friend, so we rounded up some top-sellers we think they'll love. Interactive toys are also a hit, plus they offer the chance for you to bond more deeply and exercise your cat!
Treat-wise, it's all about taste and nutrition. You may have to try a few to impress a picky cat, but we selected some of the most popular products on the market that appeal to a broad range of feline palates. A perennial favorite of cats everywhere are Temptations treats, which are irresistible to millions of cats around the world and have under two calories each for a light, health-conscious choice.
Keep scrolling to find plenty of ways to treat your cat for the holidays and beyond!
